At the northern intersection of State Route 303 and State Route 3 we find the town of Silverdale bustling with shops and restaurants and offices and malls and movie theaters and coffee shops.

The north end of town - where Poulsbo, Silverdale, and East Bremerton are all entwined together in amaze of tri-plexity - is home to St. Michael Medical Center, the largest hospital in Kitsap County, the one and only Kitsap Mall - recently expanding into ‘The Trails’ which now includes an outdoor shopping experience across the street, the Kitsap Pavilion - host to the Kitsap County Fair, Rodeos, Destruction Derby’s, Night to Shine, Redeemed Revival Vintage Market and a host of other annual community events.

kitsap humane society

9167 Dickey Rd NW, Silverdale

The staff and volunteers at the Kitsap Humane Society go to great lengths to give each animal individualized care and attention. One unique way dogs get a break from living at the shelter is with a car ride with KHS volunteer Molly Clark to get a Starbucks Puppuccino (a small cup filled with whipped cream). Who can resist adorable pictures of dogs enjoying their Starbucks treat?

Guillemot Cove

19484 NW Stavis Bay Road, Seabeck

Those who know agree that Guillemot Cove Nature Reserve is one of the most enchanting adventures on the Peninsula.

Guests experience evergreen forests, boardwalked wetlands, and a picturesque cove on the Hood Canal. The whimsical and legendary Stumphouse awaits down a short trail once you reach the wetlands, a giant tree stump adorned with a miniature shingled roof. The kids will want to crawl inside, and you’ll want to snap pics!

Guillemot Cove Nature Reserve is 184 acres of hiking, galavanting, swimming, picnicking, wildlife watching, beach combing and exploring located just a short drive off the Newberry Hill exit in Silverdale.

Clear Creek Trail

Clear Creek Trail is almost 8 miles from Silverdale Waterfront Park on Dyes Inlet north to Trigger Avenue.  It follows Clear Creek as it meanders through wetlands and remnant forests, right through the middle of the most highly developed urban areas in Silverdale.

Members and supporters envision a future with Clear Creek as a healthy stream ecosystem with clean water, a healthy salmon run, native plants, and animal habitat, providing quiet enjoyment and evoking sensitivity and respect for the stream, a part of our natural heritage.
